"The plain fact is that NASA simply cannot afford to do everything that our many constituents would like the Agency to do." - NASA Administrator Griffin
"Is this going to be a techno-whoops?" - Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) on the space station program
"If you allow the [NASA] workforce to disappear from 2010 to, say, 2015 or 2020, you can never replace these people. The expertise that you lose cannot be put back together again.
